What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
Ok be gentle and talk slow with me this is all new to me. My father just recently passed away and his g/f told me since there is no common law in MA that i have to deal with debt collectors. I know it comes out of his estate, but aren't the debt collectors only interested in things they can title (Land, cars, motorcycles, boats, etc). Also all the things that are titled are in both of there names, so what happens? Does she have to turn over or sell the estate? The debt is around 100,000 and all his estate is maybe worth 40,000. Most of his debt is credit cards.
I guess what i am getting to is i don't want her to start selling stuff off. Her name is on some of the debt but 60,000 of it is solely in his name wich i will be dealing with. I don't want to just get debt and nothing that my father valued.
Anyone that takes the time to read this THANK YOU and anyone with any knowledge on this THANK YOU ALOT
